This book is about the passion of jazz music; how jazz persists as a genre; its evolving development and how it affects those who play, record, host and manage the industry. Jazz in the 21st century is a huge but little-explored community, consisting of artists, record labels, magazines, jazz venues, jazz festivals and jazz radio stations. Jazz is increasing in popularity in all of the best music colleges. The book explores all of this and more -- for the first time all of contemporary jazz culture is explored, with contributions from the leading names in the industry. What makes jazz persist? How is it changing? And what is its future? Extensively illustrated.

Sammy Stein is known for her interviews with many musicians and her insightful reviews of CDs, concerts and articles on jazz history and the current jazz scene. Sammy is columnist for All About Jazz, Something Else Reviews and Jazz in Europe and is renowned for her insightful, honest and accessible writing style. Many in the jazz world are already excited about this book, and so they should be. It is the book that Jazz has been waiting for!

All That's Jazz is both an intense and enjoyable learning curve: a structured biopic into Jazz from those looking out from the inside making this book everything it says it is, and more. As Sammy Stein herself will tell you, It's all about the music. - Anthea Redmond, The JazzBites Show Dec 2017
